A Unique Expression of Keratin 14 in a Subset of Trophoblast Cells
Researchers characterized the presence of different keratins in human trophoblast cells and vimentin in stromal cells. Using immunohistochemistry on term placental sections, their results showed that vimentin is solely expressed in stromal-mesenchymal cells while keratins 5, 7, 8, 14 and 19 are expressed in trophoblast cells.
